Balance is the Key to a Great Golf Swing
Posted in the Golf Forum

Balance is the key factor that keeps the club at the same distance from the ball no matter where we are on the arc of the swing. By beginning our swing in a balanced comfortable position we will go a long way toward insuring that we will finish our swing in the same way.
When I play alone, I make a special effort to take each shot and concentrate on all the factors necessary to make a great shot with cheap golf clubs. Approaching the ball from behind, picking out my long distance target, my intermediate target and then beginning my setup routine. The main thing I want to emphasize today is the whole question of balance. How many times on the course have you seen someone take a swing and almost fall over?
The process begins with the setup. When you have decided upon your target and are now establishing your body beside the ball to send it on its way down the fairway. After I have insured that I have the proper grip, the next thing I want to establish is the proper distance from the ball. I want my arms hanging directly down from my shoulders in a relaxed position I check to insure that I am standing close without crowding the ball or reaching out for it.
Now that I have established the proper distance I want to insure that I have good knee bend and straight spine alignment. You have undoubtedly heard this before but it is critical to the balance process, good knee bend insures that you will maintain your balance through out the swing with golf putter and the straight spine insures that your swing will follow a path around your body that enables you to return to the ball with maximum power.
The best visual way to achieve this is to focus on the triangle formed by your hands on the club and your shoulders. That triangle should never break down. As you turn into your back swing your hands should always remain constantly in front of a fixed point on your chest. When you reach the top of the swing, the triangle will simply rise straight up as you coil the shoulders to store the power for the downswing.
This focus keeps the swing on the correct path for anyone who uses it, short or tall. The best thing is that it keeps the elbows from flying out and enables you to apply maximum power to the ball on the downswing with taylor made r11 driver. Another tremendous benefit is that it keeps you from swaying away from the ball on the backswing which means your downswing is a simple uncoil through the ball into your balanced finish.
One of the reasons the game of golf is difficult to master is the fact that it is impossible to think about any of the above while you are actually executing the swing. It typically takes about 1.5 to 2 seconds to complete the whole golf swing. Any thought that you try to add to the swing mechanics during the swing itself is sure to only complicate the swing.

Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison AuditoriumGovernor Mitt Romney has been working with the Massachusetts Legislature to pass a comprehensive, market-based reform program for health care. This Plan creatively uses an 1115 Waiver to bring affordable private health insurance products to all uninsured residents of the Commonwealth. The cornerstone for this reform is a personal responsibility principle. The Plan establishes a health insurance exchange to enable individuals to purchase health insurance on a pre-tax basis. The Plan also focuses on restraining the growth in heath care costs by empowering consumers and making healthcare service and cost information more easily available. Please join us as Governor Romney reviews this transformative Massachusetts health care reform plan.Photos from the event:

I'm currently developing an add-in aimed to edit office documents stored in a codendi forge. First problem was the read only flag on my file. A simple 'save as' solved that problem. This solution was ok until I removed codendi's cookie then instead of my file I received an error page.
What I want to do is to be able to catch an event triggered by office before it starts downloading the file. Then I can prompt the user for authentication and recreate a cookie by myself without the need for the user to open internet explorer and sign in.
Is there a way to catch an event indicating that word, excel and powerpoint are about to start a download?
Thanks in advance

GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
- Pneumococcal vaccine is a sterile, liquid vaccine for intramuscular or subcutaneous injections only.
- Pneumococcal vaccines are available in 5-dose vials.
- They are also available as a pack of 10 single dose vials and 10 single-dose pre-filled syringes.
- Each 0.5 ml dose contains 25 mcg polysaccharide of each pneumococcal type.
STORAGE: Pneumococcal vaccine should be refrigerated between 2 C to 8 C (36 F to 46 F).
DOSING: The recommended dose is 0.5 ml injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Routine revaccination is not recommended unless patients' previous vaccine history is unknown.
Pneumococcal vaccine (PCV 23) is not recommended for children under the age of 2.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Administration of pneumococcal vaccine is not recommended at the same time as zoster vaccine live (Zostavax). When they are given concurrently, pneumococcal vaccine reduces the response of zoster vaccine compared to those who received both vaccines 4 weeks apart.
Medications such as cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) and tacrolimus (Prograf) that weaken the immune system should not be used with pneumococcal vaccine. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus reduce the effects of pneumococcal vaccine; therefore, such patients must be evaluated before recommending pneumococcal vaccine.
PREGNANCY: Safe and effective use of pneumococcal vaccine is not established for pregnant mothers.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether pneumococcal vaccine enters breast milk.
REFERENCE: CDC. Pneumococcal Vaccination.

This paper extends our prior result on decidability of bisimulation equivalence control from the setting of complete observations to that of partial observations. Besides being control compatible, the supervisor must now also be observation compatible. We show that the "small model theorem" remains valid by showing that a control and observation compatible supervisor exists if and only if it exists over a certain finite state space, namely the power set of the Cartesian product of the system and the specification state spaces. Note to Practitioners-Non-determinism in discrete-event systems arises due to abstraction and/or unmodeled dynamics. This paper addresses the issue of control of non-deterministic systems subject to non-deterministic specifications, under a partial observation of events. Non-deterministic plant and specification are useful when designing a system at a higher level of abstraction so that lower level details of the system and its specification are omitted to obtain higher level models that are non-deterministic. The control goal is to ensure that the controlled system has an equivalent behavior as the specification system, where the notion of equivalence used is that of bisimilarity. Bisimilarity requires the existence of an equivalence relation between the states of the two systems so that transitions on common events beginning from a pair of equivalent states end up in a pair of equivalent successor states. Supervisors are also allowed to be nondeterministic, where the nondeterminism in control is implemented by selecting control actions nondeterministically from among a set of precomputed choices. The main contribution of this paper is to show that a supervisor exists if and only if one exists where the size of its state-space upper bounded and so it suffices to search over this state space. We illustrate our results through a manufacturing example

He is figuring R&D costs, which really shouldn't be figured in because that's part of doing business. If you don't R&D, you don't come out with new products. With no new products you're really not in business anymore.
There is a definite difference in business attitude between Nintendo and Sony. Nintendo understands that it is vital to sell as many units as possible to make money in the long term, for the reasons I keep stating but keep being ignored by Flores. Sony's attitude is they want as much profit as possible per unit and don't seem to think about how that may hurt sales. The memory card situation is a perfect illustration of that because the markup on those is ridiculous. That is price gouging plain and simple, since the thing is required to make the Vita useful.
This is why Nintendo has been in the video game business for so long, and has dominated the handheld market in particular since the original Gameboy. They understand the market and their customers. I'm not sure what Sony understands in recent years except for how to excel at being stubborn. I do hope they come to their senses next year though because I want to see them succeed. They have incredible engineers who design some of the best electronics on the market. It's too bad their business decisions have been so dimwitted in recent years.

Last week, just before the defense rested its case in the trial of Pfc. Bradley Manning, I was delighted that my book The Guantánamo Files was cited as a significant source of reliable information about the prisoners in Guantánamo — more reliable, in fact, than the information contained in the previously classified military files (the Detainee Assessment Briefs) leaked by Manning and released by WikiLeaks in April 2011, on which I worked as a media partner.
The trial began at the start of June, but on February 28, Manning accepted responsibility for the largest leak of classified documents in US history — including the "Collateral Murder" video, featuring US personnel indiscriminately killing civilians and two Reuters reporters in Iraq, 500,000 army reports (the Afghan War logs and the Iraq War logs), 250,000 US diplomatic cables, and the Guantánamo files.
When Manning accepted responsibility for the leaks, the Guardian described it as follows: "In a highly unusual move for a defendant in such a serious criminal prosecution, Manning pleaded guilty to 10 lesser charges out of his own volition – not as part of a plea bargain with the prosecution." The Guardian added that the charges to which Manning pleaded guilty "carry a two-year maximum sentence each, committing Manning to a possible upper limit of 20 years in military prison," but pointed out that he "pleaded not guilty to 12 counts which relate to the major offences of which he is accused by the US government. Specifically, he denied he had been involved in 'aiding the enemy' — the idea that he knowingly gave help to al-Qaida and caused secret intelligence to be published on the internet, aware that by doing so it would become available to the enemy." Read the rest of this entry »
Last week, as the trial of Bradley Manning finally got underway at Fort Meade in Maryland, nearly three years after the military analyst was first arrested for the biggest leak of classified documents in US history, I was asked to take part in a radio show on Voice of Russia, the radio station whose UK studio is in St. James's Square in central London.
The show was entitled, "Bradley Manning and the nature of intelligence," and involved guests in three studios — in Washington D.C, Moscow and London. It was 45 minutes in total, but the London segment has been made available as an audio file, and can be listened to, or downloaded here.
I appeared in London alongside John Gearson, Professor of National Security Studies, and Director of the Centre for Defence Studies at King's College London, and our host was Hywel Davis.
I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak about the importance of Bradley Manning's whistleblowing, and to explain why I believe that, although he obviously disobeyed the rules governing the behavior of US military personnel, the attempt to claim that he was "aiding the enemy" is absurd, and the military — and the Obama administration — should, at most, have settled for the 20-year sentence that is the maximum punishment for the crimes to which Manning has already agreed.

On Monday (June 3), three years and one week since he was first arrested in Kuwait, the trial by court-martial begins, at Fort Meade in Maryland, of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the alleged whistleblower responsible for making available — to the campaigning organization WikiLeaks — the largest collection of classified documents ever leaked to the public, including the "Collateral Murder" video, featuring US personnel indiscriminately killing civilians and two Reuters reporters in Iraq, 500,000 army reports (the Afghan War logs and the Iraq War logs), 250,000 US diplomatic cables, and the classified military files relating to the Guantánamo prisoners, which were released in April 2011, and on which I worked as a media partner (see here for the first 34 parts of my 70-part, million-word series analyzing the Guantánamo files).
To highlight what the Bradley Manning Support Network describes as a trial that "will determine whether a conscience-driven 25-year-old WikiLeaks whistle-blower spends the rest of his life in prison," an international day of action is taking place on Saturday, June 1. See here for a full list of events worldwide.
At Fort Meade, the day of action will begin at 1pm — see the website here, and sign up on the Facebook page. There will be speakers at 1.30pm, a march at 2pm, and more speakers at 3pm. Speakers "include Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower; Ethan McCord, the soldier who saved the children attacked in the 'Collateral Murder' video released by WikiLeaks; Col. Ann Wright, the most senior State Department official to resign in protest of the Iraq war; Sarah Shourd, hiker imprisoned by Iran turned prisoner rights activist; and Lt. Dan Choi, prominent anti-Don't Ask Don't Tell activist featured on the Rachel Maddow show." Read the rest of this entry »
I'm delighted to report that, in recognition of my work on Guantánamo and the "war on terror" over the last seven years (including being the lead writer on the sections of a report on secret detention for the United Nations in 2010 dealing with US secret detention since 9/11, and being a media partner of WikiLeaks for the release of classified military files from Guantánamo in 2011), I've been short-listed for the prestigious Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, dedicated to the memory of Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998), one of the great war correspondents of the 20th century.
The prize was established in 1999, and previous winners include Nick Davies, Robert Fisk, Patrick Cockburn, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, Dahr Jamail, Mohammed Omer, Ian Cobain, Julian Assange and Gareth Porter.
As noted by the Committee (James Fox, Jeremy Harding, Cynthia Kee, Alexander Matthews, Shirlee Matthews and John Pilger), the prize is "awarded to a journalist whose work has penetrated the established version of events and told an unpalatable truth, validated by powerful facts, that exposes establishment propaganda, or 'official drivel' as Martha Gellhorn called it."

A Year of Protest – The NHS, Disabled Rights, Guantánamo, Bradley Manning and the Occupy Movement, a set on Flickr.
A year ago yesterday, I embarked on a huge and ongoing project — to photograph the whole of London by bike. A year and a day later, I have taken around 13,000 photos, and have published nearly 1,700 on Flickr. As it happens, my time has been so consumed of late with my ongoing campaign to close Guantánamo — where the prison-wide hunger strike, now in its fourth month, has finally awoken the world to the ongoing horrors of the prison — that I have not had time recently to publish photos from this project, although I have continued to take photos on an almost daily basis. I am currently organising the photos by area — largely, in fact, by postcode — as I work out how best to show them and to market them, but to mark the anniversary I will soon be posting a selection of photos from the first year of the project – and if anyone has any good ideas abut how to take tis project forward, then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
In the meantime, I realised that today — May 12 — is the first anniversary of an event organised by the worldwide Occupy movement (inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York), and that I had photographed the event that took place in London, and so, to coincide with that anniversary, I've put together a selection off photos from the various political campaigns and protests I've been involved in over the last year.

UPDATE MAY 7: It has just been confirmed that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will now be taking part in this event, via video link from the Ecuadorian Embassy, from 7.30 to 8.15pm.
It's almost three years since Pfc. Bradley Manning, who had been working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, was arrested by the US military and imprisoned in Kuwait for allegedly making available — to the campaigning organization WikiLeaks — the largest collection of classified documents ever leaked to the public, including the "Collateral Murder" video, featuring US personnel indiscriminately killing civilians in Iraq, 500,000 army reports (the Afghan War logs and the Iraq War logs), 250,000 US diplomatic cables, and the classified military files relating to the Guantánamo prisoners, which were released in April 2011, and on which I worked as a media partner (see here for the first 34 parts of my 70-part, million-word series analyzing the Guantánamo files).
In July 2010, Manning was transferred to the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico, Virginia, where the conditions of his confinement began to cause international concern. I first wrote about his case in December 2010, when he was being held in solitary confinement, in an article entitled, "Is Bradley Manning Being Held as Some Sort of "Enemy Combatant"?" and I followed his story into 2011, and his transfer to less contentious conditions of confinement in Fort Leavenworth on April 20, just five days before WikiLeaks released the Guantánamo files.
In the last two years, I have largely deferred to other writers, researchers and activists, dedicated to Bradley Manning's story, to cover developments in his case, particularly relating to a series of pre-trial hearings. His trial begins on June 3 (preceded by an international day of action on June 1), and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to revisit his story this Wednesday, May 8, at an event in London organized by Naomi Colvin and Katia Michaels, at which I am honoured to be sharing a stage with Chase Madar, the author of The Passion of Bradley Manning, and Ben Griffin, a former SAS soldier and conscientious objector.

Ten and a half years into the Guantánamo experiment, as it becomes ever harder for those who are still appalled by the prison's existence, and by the failures of all three branches of the US government — under Barack Obama — to close it, my friends and colleagues Jeffrey Kaye and Jason Leopold are to be commended for not giving up, and for digging away at the secrets that still shroud Guantánamo, and that, moreover, are still capable of providing a shock when uncovered, even if they are generally ignored by the mainstream media.
On Wednesday, the mainstream media decided to pay attention for a change, and Jeff and Jason's report on a drugging scandal at Guantánamo, published on Truthout, where Jason is the lead investigative reporter and Jeff, a full-time psychologist, is also a regular contributor, was picked up by mainstream media outlets including the Associated Press, AFP and Britain's Daily Mail.
Their article was based on the release of a Pentagon report, "Investigation of Allegations of the Use of Mind-Altering Drugs to Facilitate Interrogations of Detainees" that they requested through Freedom of Information legislation two years ago, and it paints a depressing story of prisoners at Guantánamo being given given powerful anti-psychotic medication and then, on occasions, interrogated, even though they were in no fit state to answer questions competently.

This investigative report is published simultaneously here, and on the website of the "Close Guantánamo" campaign, which I established in January with US attorney Tom Wilner. Please join us — just an email address is required to be counted amongst those opposed to the ongoing existence of Guantánamo, and to receive updates of our activities by email.
One of the greatest injustices at Guantánamo is that, of the 169 prisoners still held, over half — 87 in total — were cleared for release by President Obama's interagency Guantánamo Review Task Force. The Task Force involved around 60 career officials from various government departments and the intelligence agencies, who spent the first year of the Obama Presidency reviewing the cases of all the remaining prisoners in Guantánamo, to decide whether they should be tried, released, or, in some cases, held indefinitely without charge or trial. The Task Force's final report is here (PDF).
Exactly who these 87 men are is a closely held secret on the part of the administration, which is unfortunate for those of us working towards the closure of Guantánamo, as it prevents us from campaigning as effectively as we would like for the majority of these men, given that we are not entirely sure of their status. Attorneys for the prisoners have been told about their clients' status, but that information — as with so much involving Guantánamo — is classified.
However, through recent research — into the classified military files about the Guantánamo prisoners, compiled by the Joint Task Force at the prison, which were released last year by WikiLeaks, as well as documents made available by the Bush administration, along with some additional information from the years of the Obama administration — I have been able to establish the identities of 40 men — 23 Yemenis, and 17 from other countries — who, between 2004 and 2009, were cleared for release by the Joint Task Force at Guantánamo, by military review boards under the Bush administration, or by President Obama's Task Force, and to identify the official documents in which these decisions were noted.

Two years and two days since his arrest in Iraq on May 26, 2010, Pfc. Bradley Manning still awaits the start of his court-martial, as his lawyers and other sympathizers try to take the government to task for its secrecy regarding the 24-year old, who faces 22 charges, including "aiding the enemy," a charge that, in theory, carries the death penalty, although prosecutors have said that they will not be pressing for his execution, if he is convicted.
Manning, a former US intelligence analyst, is the alleged whistleblower responsible for leaking thousands of classified US government documents to WikiLeaks, dealing with the Afghan and Iraq wars, and the prisoners in Guantánamo, as well as hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables. Held in damaging isolation for the first eleven months of his detention — in Kuwait and then at a military brig in Quantico, Virginia, he was then moved — after pressure was exerted by his many supporters, and by legal experts — to the Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he remains. His Article 32 hearing, preparing the way for his trial, took place last December, and he was referred to a general court-martial by the judge, Lt. Col. Paul Almanza. He was arraigned on February 23 this year, when he declined to enter a plea.
Now, as the Guardian reported last week, with hearings taking place prior to his court-martial, possibly in August, a coalition of lawyers and media outlets, led by the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights, "has petitioned the Army court of criminal appeals calling for the court-martial against Manning to be opened up to the press and public," claiming that his military trial "is being conducted amid far more secrecy than even the prosecution of the alleged 9/11 plotters in Guantánamo."

Freelance investigative journalist Andy Worthington continues his 70-part, million-word series telling, for the first time, the stories of 776 of the 779 prisoners held at Guantánamo since the prison opened on January 11, 2002. Adding information released by WikiLeaks in April 2011 to the existing documentation about the prisoners, much of which was already covered in Andy's book The Guantánamo Files and in the archive of articles on his website, the project will hopefully be completed by 2013, although that is contingent on finding new funding.
This is Part 34 of the 70-part series. 422 stories have now been told. See the entire archive here.
In late April last year, I worked with WikiLeaks as a media partner for the publication of thousands of pages of classified military documents — the Detainee Assessment Briefs — relating to almost all of the 779 prisoners held at Guantánamo since the prison opened on January 11, 2002. These documents drew heavily on the testimony of the prisoners themselves, and also on the testimony of their fellow inmates (either in Guantánamo, or in secret prisons run by or on behalf of the CIA), whose statements are unreliable, either because they were subjected to torture or other forms of coercion, or because they provided false statements in the hope of securing better treatment in Guantánamo.
The documents were compiled by the Joint Task Force at Guantánamo (JTF GTMO), which operates the prison, and were based on assessments and reports made by interrogators and analysts whose primary concern was to "exploit" the prisoners for their intelligence value. They also include input from the Criminal Investigative Task Force, created by the DoD in 2002 to conduct interrogations on a law enforcement basis, rather than for "actionable intelligence."
My ongoing analysis of the documents began in May, with a five-part series, "WikiLeaks: The Unknown Prisoners of Guantánamo," telling the stories of 84 prisoners, released between 2002 and 2004, whose stories had never been told before. This was followed by a ten-part series, "WikiLeaks and the Guantánamo Prisoners Released from 2002 to 2004," in which I revisited the stories of 114 other prisoners released in this period, adding information from the Detainee Assessment Briefs to what was already known about these men and boys from press reports and other sources. This was followed by another five-part series, "WikiLeaks and the Guantánamo Prisoners Released After the Tribunals, 2004 to 2005," dealing with the period from September 2004 to the end of 2005, when 62 prisoners were released.
This, as I explained, was the period in which, after the prisoners won a spectacular victory in the Supreme Court in June 2004, in Rasul v. Bush, when the Supreme Court granted them habeas corpus rights (in other words, the right to ask an impartial judge why they were being held), lawyers were allowed to meet the prisoners for the first time, and the secrecy that was required for Guantánamo to function as an interrogation center beyond the law was finally broken.

Product Description
Product Description
A landmark American documentary, Salesman captures in vivid detail the bygone era of the door-to-door salesman. While laboring to sell a gold-embossed version of the Good Book, Paul Brennan and his colleagues target the beleaguered masses-then face the demands of quotas and the frustrations of life on the road. Following Brennan on his daily rounds, the Maysles discover a real-life Willy Loman, walking the line from hype to despair.
Arguably the best American documentary of the 1960s, Salesman was the pivotal film of the "direct cinema" movement championed by such influential filmmakers as Richard Leacock, D.A. Pennebaker, and (in this case) the Maysles brothers and their longtime collaborator Charlotte Zwerin. It catapulted Albert and David Maysles to international fame (later intensified with Gimme Shelter), and it remains the most powerful document of working-class America in the post-Kennedy era. As compelling as any fictional drama, the film follows four salesmen (nicknamed the Badger, the Gipper, the Rabbit, and the Bull, based on their particular on-the-job attributes) from Boston to Florida as they struggle to sell lavishly illustrated Bibles to reluctant, blue-collar customers as desperate to keep their money as the salesmen are to take it.
The film focuses on the anguished plight of Paul "the Badger" Brennan, an aging Boston-Irish veteran of the salesman circuit, weary of his job and unable to hide his exhaustion from customers and colleagues alike. "I don't want to seem negative," he says in one of the film's many dreary motel rooms, but Paul is negative, and meager sales reflect his attitude. The resulting portrait serves as a two-way mirror of hard-scrabble American survival, simultaneously humorous and heartbreaking, and so honestly revealing that no performance (with the possible exception of Jack Lemmon's in Glengarry Glen Ross) could ever hope to match its level of richly nuanced humanity. Door-to-door salesmen became dinosaurs with the advent of telemarketing and Internet retail, but Salesman is a timeless masterpiece of cinematic truth. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The "salesmen" themselves are unforgetable; their performances in the homes of anyone who will let them get a foot in the door are fascinating and nerve wracking as you find yourself sympathizing both with the salesmen and the prospective buyers at the same time. It's this dynamic tension that gives the film some real drama. Better than what could have been scripted.
I never saw this film on video so I can't comment on any improvements in quality. But I will say this: the film looks and sounds beautiful on DVD. Also, with the DVD is an interview (mostly pretentious banter revolving around the distinction of "direct cinema"), commentary with the Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin (editor) and film trailers.
The Maysles' camera focuses on the body language of the uncomfortable squirm of people who cannot afford ten dollars a month for the Bible. We see the deflation of the salesmen when the sale is denied. We also see the smugness of the producers as they check through their completed sales slips. Each salesman has a distinct selling personality that is characterized by his nickname in the group.
Paul, the main character is losing his touch. We witness the rejections he endures until he finally decides to give up and go back home, bowed and beaten.
Many of the characters are adapted from this film to the play, then movie, "Glenngary Glennross", another intense drama about salesmen. One can also imagine Paul returning to his wife and reliving his past as does Willy Loman in, "Death of a Salesman". These three are a tour de force of life as cold call salesman.

Pure Hockey Says: Bauer`s 4-Roll Elite hockey glove mirrors the LOOK of Bauer`s traditional and extremely popular 4-Roll gloves, but with more basic protection. For example, the foams on the Elite glove are double-density (the more expensive 4-Roll has EPP foam) and the liner is Bauer`s Hydrophobic mesh, not the ThermoMax liner found in the higher priced 4-Roll. Also, these are not embroidered gloves, they are simply printed. Don`t let ANY of this worry you - you are still looking at a very durable and protective glove here. As with all Bauer 4-Roll gloves, this is the widest fit of the three Bauer lines, so if you like your gloves a little wide and loose (like many players do), then this is a real good and cost-effective glove for you.

We are very proud of this achievement which recognizes our innovative approaches to implementing the community-based Bungamati Family House and Early Childhood Program, and THEN improving the local economy and empowering the community so that it can support and sustain the project!
Introducing the "Bungamati Home Stay Project"
Global Family Village-Nepal and its community partner, the Bungamati Cooperative Society recently launched the HOME STAY PROJECT in partnership with the Nepal Tourism Board. The HOME STAY PROJECT is designed to bring tourism to the Bungamati area and to offer tourists an opportunity to stay overnight with a village family.
On 12 May 2012, 50 participants from the community, including politicians, local organizations, district representatives, teachers and members of the Cooperative, came together for an orientation program. Representatives from 14 families (mostly women) then signed on for a 7-day training session on hospitality and home stay, which covered such topics as providing Nepali authentic cuisine, house keeping, sanitation, health security, communication, and comfort for western tourists.
How it works.....
GFV-Nepal and the Cooperative will:
For these services GFV-Nepal and the Cooperative will receive a 10 % commission towards sustaining our project in Bungamati!
We greatly appreciate your support and generosity. Please continue to remember us. Even small donations can make a big difference in the program, and ultimately for the disenfranchised children in Nepal! GlobalGiving donations will be matched on June 13th in honor of Father's Day!
Thank you so very much!
Namaste, Freema Davis and the GFV Board of Directors

Pastworld is a "theme park" set in the Victorian times of London. The visitors, called Gawkers, get submerged in that lifetime. They must follow strict rules to keep to the authenticity. The story is about Eve, a girl who was shut away in a house in Pastworld and only let out with her guardian, who runs away to join the circus. She doesn't remember much of her childhood, but she dreams of being free. The story is also about Caleb, a visitor to Pastworld whose life is turned upside down when he's a witness to a murder. Before long, he is labeled as the murderer and his father is kidnapped right before his eyes. He is taken in by a pickpocket named Bible J. And then there's the Fantom. He is a serial killer with a gruesome calling card. These three characters are all involved in some way - a very shocking way! PASTWORLD was definitely...interesting. Working for Disney, I saw that this was about a "theme park" and was excited. But I wouldn't exactly call Pastworld a theme park; it's just a city set in the past. You could definitely tell this book was written by a guy, since it was really gory. I wasn't expecting that, but it didn't turn me off from my reading. Sometimes, I didn't really care about the characters. While I wanted to care about Eve, I didn't feel like there was enough about her for me to feel sympathetic about. That being said, this was a good science fiction/mystery book. I spent a lot of the storyline trying to figure out what was going on, and I would say that about two-thirds of the way through, I finally figured it out. And it was a good twist! I feel that the ending wrapped up too quickly, as I would have liked to have read more about what happened at the end scene with the Fantom and Eve. Still, a good read overall, though.
The summary for this book doesn't give it justice. I bought the book and read it in about two days. If you start reading this, you just can't stop. You fall in love with the characters so fast and really understand them as well. I picked up this book looking for something different. Well, I got something different and better. Kudos to the author!
Was well worth it, as I think it's a very original story, with a twist I should have seen coming but didn't! One of the things that I enjoyed about the book is that each chapter is narrated by a different character. We have excerpts from Eve's journal, then the next chapter might be from Caleb or Bible J or a policemen, then back to Eve. The different voices weren't hard to keep track of, and I thought having several different viewpoints only enhanced the story. Found the whole idea of turning an old section of London into a giant theme park for the rich remarkably believable, and thought Beck was able to keep the story moving along nicely even when switching from narrator to narrator. Don't want to give away too much of the plot as there were a few nice surprises along the way, but I will say that I liked most of the characters and that the unlikable characters were all villains. Gave this book a 4/5 rating. Thought the writing was very well done, the characters were all well developed, and the plot was original and compelling. I've seen a few comparisons to The Truman Show, but I didn't think they were similar at all. I don't think that this was too violent for a YA book, as video games are much more violent and bloody. All in all, I'd recommend this book!
Hmmm eve and caleb? Where have I heard that before?
The story was original, it wasn't baddly written but it was extremely predictable. SPOILER! Eve and The Phantom screamed AUTOMATONS! from the start, the ending was rushed, and the part that bothered me was that Pastworld was supposed to be 100% Victorian, however, they did allow clockwork animals and the aircrafts hovering inside the dome...
I have never been a big YA fan until fairly recently so I was a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of YA books I've either won or bent sent for review so I was a little hesitant to read this book. I figured I would hang onto it for a while then read it sometime in the future. However, after reading the first 5 pages I was pretty hooked. I recently discovered "steam punk" books about a year ago but this is the first time I've ran across a YA book in the genre. Now some may say it's not really "steam punk" because it doesn't take place in Victorian England. Since this takes place in a setting that is for all purposes Victorian England and it involved genetic engineering, robotics, and modern science, I think it qualifies. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It plays around with the whole concept of family in quite a different way. What make a family and the relationships between family members are equally explored throughout this book in such a way that it makes you think about what the future has in store for the human race. The character development was strong and stayed front and center for most of the book. The character of Eve is a fascinating one to me for she seemed to grow as a character but still managed to stay two dimensional to me. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not but it somehow works with the story. My only qualm about the book was the character of The Fantom, the new Jack the Ripper. I felt that there was so much more to explore with this character that was simply ignored in the book. I wish we could have had a little bit more of him and his development. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a solid YA, "steam punk", of SciFi novel.

I work in education and my husband is a psychologist. We love hiking, cooking, swimming, exploring the awesome events and restaurants in Austin, and traveling around the world. When we're at home, you'd most likely find Dave either planning a wilderness retreat for Veterans or getting his hands dirty in the yard. I'd be reading a book or making homemade ice cream. We have spent a lot of time making a space that is comfortable and welcoming for our friends and family and we hope our airbnb guests find it that way too!
